Midway may be teetering on the edge of financial oblivion at the moment but at least one of the game publisher's movie properties may be getting a new lease on life as a movie. That game is the 2007 release of Stranglehold, a (sort of) sequel to the classic Hong Kong action film Hard Boiled.

Buried in a Hollywood Reporter story about a new Missing in Action movie comes word that the two screenwriters of that flick, Jeremy Passmore and Andre Fabrizio, have also written a script adaptation of Stranglehold. The script itself is for the Lion Rock Entertainment movie company which is headed up by the director of the original Hard Boiled John Woo. He also served as an adviser of the Stranglehold game. It's unclear how much involvement Midway will have in the movie adaptation; indeed the company isn't even mentioned in the Hollywood Reporter story.

This patch updates the John Woo action game, Stranglehold (starring Chow Yun Fat), to version 1.1. Patch fixes a number of game issue. The Stranglehold demo can be downloaded here. Continue reading for full patch notes.
